Will any major spirits distributor file an 8-K announcing a state market exit by Friday?
NOReview of SEC EDGAR 8-K filings during the window, including all specified companies and a broader 8-K search, shows no current report by a major spirits distributor announcing a state market exit or similar event by the deadline; media coverage of RNDC's California withdrawal does not involve an 8-K filing and therefore does not meet the resolution criteria.
